Thank you so, so, so much for your orders! Seriously, thank you! I haven't had a minute to jump back in here this week and the days are just flying by. So, I am in the weeds with lotion-bar orders that came in without a kit order, meaning they need to ship ASAP. I am trying to pour and package and ship over 200 orders just for the lotion bars right now, so I promise I am doing my best. I've shipped a hundred so far this week, but I really underestimated this one, I'm sorry! I've ordered more stickers, more tins, more supplies, everything, and I have the next two days while Andy is home to make and ship as many of these on their way as I can. So if you were among the first to order last week and haven't already received your advice of shipping, please watch for it over the next couple of days. Other people who ordered lotion bars to ship with Summer Storm kits, I am still planning to ship yours with your cross-stitch kit in July as discussed.

I've gotten a much higher number of emails with order amendments, requests for additions, etc., this time and I do answer those as quickly as I can. But, for the record, if you didn't add a lotion bar to your kit order and you would like to do so (and your first order has not shipped yet), the best way to do that is to place another order for the lotion bar (and anything else you would like) and leave me a note to combine your open orders on the order comment-box itself, and not sent in a separate email. I use a separate shipping app (ShipStation, which is awesome) for all of my shipping and it does a brilliant job of combining orders. But I must do that manually within the app itself, and I have a better chance of getting it right if you leave me a note within the order itself, where all the information is. Please know that I do not have access to credit card or PayPal information, and I cannot automatically add things to anyone's order, and I do not send invoices for extra items. Placing another order through the web site and leaving me a note is the best way for me to combine your open orders. With a volume of orders like this all at once, things always get a bit tricky to manage on my end, so thank you so much for your orders and your interest and your patience, and I promise you will be hearing from me soon.

And I should add, I didn’t realize you were making these yourself. I thought you must have found a manufacturer. That’ll be your next step! Toiling over cauldrons of lotion in the summertime will get old fast.

Alicia! Mine arrived today! They are truly lovely! I bought two - one for me, and one for a gift for one of my very best friends. I quickly scurried over to her house as the weather is supposed to hit the 90s this week and presented her with it. She loved it! They are amazing! They smell delicious and they are so beautiful! Thank you for shipping them out so fast!

I can't wait to get my package! I've recent gotten into bar lotion, shampoo, etc; and so far it's been great (yay for less plastic). And I finally talked myself into getting your First Snow kit too. It will be nice to have something that I can leave up all winter. And I must say I'm just biding my time till you release that knitting bag kit/pattern, I will be one of the first to order that when that goes live on your site. Thank you for all the pretties you share with us!

Alicia.. I got my package from you and it's amazing! The lotion bar is so beautiful and works so well! And the aqua pastel candy colored yarn is so pretty. I just did a blog post about your products and put a link in the text, I hope you don't mind. I love how you packaged everything! You really are a blog star. ((hugs)), Teresa :-)

For those whose orders may be delayed, the wait is worth it. I love this stuff -- well, it's more than "stuff." It's fragrance and creaminess and comfort. Also, pausing to let the bar soften is in itself a moment of healing meditation.

How wonderful that people wanted these. How could they not,
they look lovely. Although I am excited to receive this I am in no hurry. I ordered a couple for me and some for gifts. Probably Christmas gifts. So as far as I am concerned take your time.

I got mine Tuesday! I have to say that I LOVE it! The smell is awesome, so refreshing. The lotion is wonderful, I use it on everything from hands to feet! Works better than anything else I have. I made some a couple of years ago but not at good as this! Thank you!

The lotion bars look so beautiful. I'm waiting til it gets cooler before I order - I don't think the hot weather + post to the UK will do it any good at the moment! But, but, but! Where did you get the moulds? I looked on line but can't find anything half as beautiful. Please tell!

Oh My Goodness !!!!!!
Receiving your packages ..... are better than Christmas !!!!! Thank You SO much for all the care you put IN TO packaging everything up, let alone the items inside !!!!!!! I hold my breath and unwrap each item slowly !!!!!!
My yarn is Spectacular !!!!!!! I bought " Mineral " and could not love it more !!!!!!!!
And lotion bar is Fabulous !!!!!!!
Thank You for Everything !!!!!!!

Everyone I’ve given a bar to has been delighted. I was relieved they arrived intact in Texas with our 100 degree heat. I hope they will be available after the summer, too. I am afraid I would not be lucky two deliveries in a row.
